I've poked at this a little more, and now I understand.
sysutils/xfce4-utils installs files that conflict with xfce4-session,
and xfce4-appfinder. Also, the xfce web page for utils seems to be gone,
which indicates to me that this bit is discontinued?

I'm also confused by the UPDATING entry:

  AUTHOR: xfce at FreeBSD.org

  When upgrading from Xfce 4.8 to 4.10 make sure you uninstall the following
  ports:

    misc/xfce4-utils
    x11-fm/thunar-vfs

   You may uninstall them before you start the upgrade procedure (preferred)
   or even afterwards when the upgrade went fine.

What I think we should do instead is to remove utils, and say this in
UPDATING:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
20120617:
  AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/xfce4
  AUTHOR: xfce at FreeBSD.org

  The misc/xfce4-utils package has been discontinued, and installs files
that conflicts with the new versions of misc/xfce4-appfinder and
x11-wm/xfce4-session.

  # pkg_delete -f xfce4-utils-4\*
  # portmaster misc/xfce4-appfinder x11-wm/xfce4-session
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sound good?

I'm also confused by the thunar-vfs entry. I have it currently installed
as a dependency of squeeze, for which it's listed as a LIB_DEPENDS.
